Did you know that Vicky Kaushal was supposed to star in a film opposite Deepika Padukone, and Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were offered multiple movies together?
Strange are the ways in which Bollywood works. The stars whom we love and adore so much often aren’t able to keep their personal and professional lives different. For instance, Deepika Padukone-Vicky Kaushal, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-Salman Khan, and many other stars were supposed to star in films together. But, some rejected films because of their co-stars and some got their co-stars replaced. Did you know Shahid Kapoor was not the first choice for Padmaavat? Bajirao Mastani’s original cast was not Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra. Kareena Kapoor Khan once rejected a film because of her co-star.
